​With the advent of dictator Donald Trump and his dangerously unstable, violent, egomaniacal personality, the resistance from civic society has not risen to the deadly challenge either quantitatively or qualitatively.

    because 2/3 of voters did not vote against him, therefore they are either okay with it or were unable to vote

    my assumption is that the size of the latter group, while significant, is not 15% of voters

            I see what you’re trying to do, and you’re failing. it’s not the same logic.

              It literally is. Your argument is that people who didnt vote for Trump wanted him to be president. All people who didnt vote for Kamala are somehow pro-Trump. If that wasn’t your intent, you need to work on how you phrase things.

              All I did was say precisely what you said lol just the other way around. Thats because people who didnt vote… did not vote! Ascribing a desired candidate to people who didnt participate is … not how it works!

              Everyone that doesnt go to subway hates subs so they absolutely must like burgers! See? Silly.

              A lot of people felt disenfranchised and abstained due to a sense of moral superiority to be sure. That doesn’t mean they voted for Trump or felt like Trump was the superior candidate. People who dont pay attention to politics didnt vote for or against either candidate, people who didnt vote also didnt vote for or against either candidate.
